| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different bedding materials on behavior and growth performance, haematological, biochemical parameters, Gastro Intestinal Parasitic load, Diarrhoea Score, dirt score of growing of Hassan lambs under intensive production system. The duration of study period was 90 days. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that the total time spent on resting, standing, walking and feeding was non-significant (P>0.05) in all the experimental lambs. The body weight gain, ADG, DMI, FCR and FCE, biometric measurements, physiological parameters (respiration rate, heart rate), haematological parameter, overall mean EPG count, diarrhea score were non-significant among lambs raised on different bedding materials. The lambs on Ragi straw bedding showed significantly (P<0.05) higher rectal temperature (0F). Floor/bedding surface temperature of soil/mud floor was found to be significantly lower compared to other bedding materials. The glucose, albumin, globulin and A/G ratio were comparable (P>0.05) among different groups, serum total protein levels and triglyceride levels were found to be significantly different (P<0.05). The cortisol level and OPG were significantly higher (P<0.05) in the lambs reared on maize cob bedding. The dirt scores were highest in lambs maintained on soil/mud. The present study indicated that the lambs reared on Ragi straw bedding were comparatively, more comfortable than those on maize cob and mud/soil bedding material. | |
